Re: [NEW ISSUE] 4039 WS-Policy does not define its relationship to XML Base

I think that that was meant to be RFC 3986 which describes the process for 
resolving an absolute
URI from a relative URI in section 5.1 and 5.2.

Hi Asir,

I don't grasp how RFC 3987 pertains to establishing a base URI. Could 
you point me to the relevant section(s) in the RFC?

XML Base [2]. Any specification built upon XML Information Set will 
natively support XML Base. Web Services Policy is built upon XML 
Information Set. So, it doesn't hurt to explicitly call out the support 
for XML Base.
